OPay Digital Services Limited (OPay), one of Nigeria’s leading financial technology companies, has partnered with Dolly Children Foundation (DCF) to commission the OPay Clean Future Project, a community-focused intervention aimed at improving sanitation facilities and enhancing the learning environment for students at Ebenezer Grammar School, Iberekodo, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The project, scheduled for commissioning on Thursday, June 18, 2026, will deliver a newly constructed four-unit toilet facility that provides students with access to safe, clean, and dignified sanitation services. In addition, beneficiaries will receive essential educational materials, including school bags and school sandals, to support their academic journey and overall well-being.
The initiative reflects OPay’s commitment to creating positive social impact through strategic partnerships that address critical community needs while improving the quality of life for children and young people.
Implemented by Dolly Children Foundation, the OPay Clean Future Project seeks to address one of the fundamental challenges faced by many schools across Nigeria: access to adequate sanitation facilities. By providing a safe and hygienic environment, the project is expected to contribute to improved health outcomes, increased student confidence, and a more conducive atmosphere for learning.
Speaking on the partnership, Adedolapo Osuntuyi, Executive Director and Founder of Dolly Children Foundation, said: “We are delighted to partner with OPay on the Clean Future Project, an initiative that will provide students with a safer and more dignified learning environment. Access to proper sanitation is fundamental to every child’s well-being and educational experience. Through this intervention, we are addressing a critical need within the school community while creating a healthier and more conducive atmosphere for students to learn, grow, and thrive. This project reflects our shared commitment to improving the lives of children in underserved communities and investing in their future.”
Adedolapo Osuntuyi further commended OPay for its commitment to community development and social impact, noting that the OPay Clean Future Project would leave a lasting legacy within the school community and significantly improve the learning experience and well-being of students.
The commissioning ceremony is expected to bring together representatives of OPay, Dolly Children Foundation, school management, government officials, community leaders, development partners, and other stakeholders to celebrate the completion of the project and its anticipated impact on students and the wider community.
For many students, access to safe and clean toilet facilities remains a critical factor in maintaining good health, dignity, and consistent school attendance. The OPay Clean Future Project demonstrates how strategic collaboration between the private sector and non-profit organizations can address practical challenges within schools while creating meaningful and lasting impact.
